I don't like when the characters get torn between the two. I like it better when the character KNOWS that she doesn't really care for the other, but likes the attention and jealousy if that makes any sense at all lol.Good Choice Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642003814176567517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-19801091801020503832011-11-06T21:08:09.834-05:002011-11-06T21:08:09.834-05:00Depends.

When it's done good (like Lisa Desrochers writes) love triangles can be awesome. But, I find I'm a little tired of the "here's the guy who's good for her" versus "here's the guy she's attracted to" love triangle.Lillie (AliseOnLife)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05258883157759929876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-42457349997482858692011-11-03T17:03:46.389-04:002011-11-03T17:03:46.389-04:00Same here.

But, for the most part, I'm tired of reading about them! It's so over done, and most of the time the love triangles are lack luster. They also seem like the easy way out now, too. It's become this tool for authors to use to show what sorts of things the main protagonist values without getting too deep or complex.Jackiehttp://booksntea.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-54029515998799390512011-11-03T13:30:46.971-04:002011-11-03T13:30:46.971-04:00It all depends on how they are done.

What I don't like about them though is when they go on and on and on (ahem, Stephanie Plum) A love triangle that is semi-short lived is interesting, but ya the ones that drag on for like 10 books, not so good... <a href="http://booksavvybabe.com" rel="nofollow">Book Savvy Babe</a>Book Savvy Babehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670256728712530527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-46702901660174203172011-11-03T09:05:19.580-04:002011-11-03T09:05:19.580-04:00I love them!
